    Game Share across two consoles advice


    Hi guys,

    im new to Xbox and i would like some advice please.

    i have just bought an xbox one x with game pass and xbox live, for me.

    I also bought an xbox one s for my son.

    How do i share my purchased/game pass games with my sons xbox and be able to play against eachother over our network?

    i have some advice but its not clear...

    1. Set up my new xbox x (as home xbox) with my account and download a few games etc

    2. set up sons xbox s with his account

    3. sign into sons xbox with my account and set as home xbox

    4. any further purchases/downloads to be done from sons xbox.

    is that correct? And will i be able to play online multiplayer from my X?

    thanks a lot guys.

    :)

    You're right, you need to set these two accounts home Xbox on the console that you won't use, the way you said it, and all the features that one account has, except for game discounts, the other console will have, as well as that adding content is automatic

    Hi, yes you are right.

    I have only one little precisation for you, after you have set your sons xbox as your xbox home, they will be able to play all the games bought from your account, you don't need to buy a game through your sons xbox, but you need to buy it with your account,
    also from smartphone or PC, the only important thing is that the game (or the subscriptions) must be purchased/activated from your account.

    With this setting, you (and only you) will be able to play on your xbox one x with all the games purchased for your account, but if your son try to play on your xbox one x he cannot play any of the your games.

    You can also set the xbox one x as your sons xbox home, doing this will let you play your sons game on the one x

    Multi users under same "parent" home xbox

    You can't share across two consoles. The sharing feature is for those using the same console.
